Hi,

I’m using some ABS waterproof boxes from Alan Hanson, just wondering if anyone knows of any good videos or tips on how to install power supplies and an F48 controller or receivers inside these box’s which I’ll have 3 boxes throughout my display?

Also is it necessary to build in a small fan to ventilate these boxes?
 
Any box that has a PSU in it here has air inlet at the base and a vent fan on the front near the top of the box to expel hot air.
 
Just gotta put my fan in... I have a PI in there for FPP and so I can a ccess via WIFI without needing to run ethernet out from my house. Can daisychain further boxes with ethernet output.

Nice layout. The bulkhead RJ-45 to Falcon ETH1 cable looks a bit snug judging by the cable bend at the bulkhead connector. According to the Falcon manual, both ETH0 and ETH1 function identically so you should be able to swap the cables.
